use "./flow.tcl -tag $tag -design $design_patg -interactive -gui" to load the design

With latest openlane you can use

read_db <path to>/results/floorplan/name.odb

will work

sorry for the late reply, thanks a lot! by the way, I’m new of openroad. Would mind tell me can the gui be used to finish the flow of hardening a design? I can’t find any guide or documentation about that. I can use Openlane to finish the whole flow, but I would like to do some manual floorplan and placement

I don’t know how to create a button related to a tcl script in the gui . Where can I find the templet scripts?
